The radiologists at Trillium Health Partners (THP) have truly demonstrated the meaning of “better together.” Together, they have made a landmark sponsorship: the first time an entire department has come together to make a $1 million commitment.
This commitment will advance the Cator Family Diagnostic Imaging Program today and in the future for The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital – which will be Canada’s largest hospital – and the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children – Ontario’s first hospital dedicated to the specialized needs of women and children – both of which will be located at the site of the current Mississauga Hospital when complete. The million-dollar sponsorship will be split between ongoing diagnostic imaging needs and investments into diagnostic imaging.
“We’ve seen the incredible difference THP makes every day,” says Dr. Tarang Sheth, inaugural Chair of the Management Committee, THP Radiologists Association. “This sponsorship showcases what’s possible when a team comes together with trust, unity, and a shared commitment to the future of care.”
THP is one of Canada’s largest hospitals, serving 2.2 million people in the West GTA, Mississauga, and Peel Region. It also serves the highest number of inpatients in Ontario and over the next 20 years, will face more demand for services like diagnostic imaging than any other hospital in the province.
In THP’s catchment area, community growth is expected to reach 3.2 million people by 2041. In March of 2023, 24% of emergency patients required advanced diagnostic imaging, up from 15% in 2019. That number is expected to rise to 30% in 2025.
“Investing in things like diagnostic imaging equipment will lead to overall lower wait times for diagnostic services, earlier detection and fewer follow-up tests, improving quality of care and patient satisfaction,” says Dr. Ivan Diamond, Program Chief and Medical Director, Cator Family Diagnostic Imaging Program at THP.
The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be located at the site of the current Mississauga Hospital when complete. More capacity, private rooms, advanced operating facilities and the largest emergency department in Canada will be some of the benefits for patients, as well as specialized care in maternal and paediatric health, offering compassionate, high-quality services to women and children across THP’s region.
